A Man of fiftie yeares of age, had a great fluxe of bloud at the nosethrill, which had continued a long time, and could finde no remedie, till he vsed this order and medicine following. First his ring finger was bound hard with a thred, then was this cataplasme following, applyed to his forehead and temples.

Take burnt lome, made in powder, M vj, strong vineger, as much as will suffice, to make it in forme of a Cataplasme, to be applyed colde, thus in few houres the bloud stinted. Neuerthelesse he tooke morning and euening, the fume of Succinum album, at the mouth and nose: which staied the fluxe: and comforted the vitall and animall spirits. His diet was cold and drying, his drinke was water, or red wine, wherein was put Crocus martis.
